Jerry Angus was an orthodox left-arm spinner who first represented Guyana at the Under-19 level in 1976, before making his first class debut for Berbice in 1980.

Though he made his List A debut for Guyana in 1980 as well, it was not until 1988 that he made his first class debut for Guyana, when he was also made captain. He was the first Guyanese to make his regional first class debut as captain, and the second person to do so in West Indies regional matches, after Rolph Grant.
